 Makes Playing Shooter Games More Fun May 16, 2008
First of all, I'm not sure if the reviewer(s) stating that the aim on the gun is way off is actually using the gun sites or if they're judging by pointing the gun at the screen and the on-screen site is way off, but my Wii gun works great. Of course my sons first time using it was him trying to use the gun sites, "this things aim is way off!". DUH! What sites were you using BEFORE having the gun? Then he realized that it is more of an appliance that adds a little realism to the game. Kinda like the Wii steering wheel. I can see those reviews now, "steering is loose and the car runs off the road a lot. This thing sucks..."
My only issue with the gun is that you have to wiggle the Wiimote a bit to get the nunchuk to connect.
 ARGH! So many good reviews?? May 16, 2008
After reading all of these glowing reviews (and watching some on YouTube,) I decided that this must be a fabulous piece of gaming equipment and ordered one; but having been warned by one reviewer--which is very vital--that the length of time between pulling the trigger and the time it hits the button on the remote seems to be FOREVER.
The same review went on to say that he had to jam a piece of plastic into the gun to make it so that the trigger while in "resting position" wasn't as far away since the folks at Nyko couldn't figure out how to measure things properly.
So in short, my experience went as follows: got the gun and put the remote in place. Played around with it, getting the feel and trying to see exactly how the trigger pulls, the weight, etc. Instantly noticed that for my only-slightly-bigger-than-the-average-woman's-sized-hands (I'm a 27yr old guy, for reference) already felt uncomfortable around the somewhat-too-wide, and blocky feeling handgrip. Started playing House of the Dead Returns--the intended purpose of actually getting a gun accessory (besides the zapper)--and noticed immediately the delay with using a spring-loaded trigger to press a rather small 'B' button on the front of the remote.
It just plain takes too long with too much effort to squeeze-release-squeeze-release the trigger in order to pull-off rapid fire shots! When using the remote by itself, I could squeeze-off 4-6 shots in the time it takes to do 2 with the Perfect Shot.
...and modding the remote with the plastic do-hickey? More complicated than it sounds. That'll be a personal mission for another day.
I can't complain enough about this gun. Maybe it DOES feel more like a "REAL pistol", but to me, that's quite a sacrifice when trying to play a VIDEOGAME with it--it's just not the same mechanics/functionality in my mind (and in my trigger finger, for that matter).
I found a third-party [or really FIFTH-party] pistol-shaped gun accessory, that's all over the internet, for next to nothing on an auction site in my desperate search for a pistol accessory that actually works, and that works beautifully. It's much smaller overall and has a noticably shorter trigger response time--that is, once I could figure out the exact angle to get the remote to fit... but nothing is "Perfect" after all, right?
 Gun!! May 04, 2008
First of all I want to clear up the wrong people have been saying about the Zapper. You can hold the Zapper with hand and it works great so all you out there saying you can't are wrong. Now this new gun is pretty good but it is a little to fat to hold to long. They needed to make the but of the gun slimmer so it would fit in your hand better. A real gun's but is not that fat so why did they make this gun's that way. Don't take me wrong it is a good gun but not the best.
Good piece of equipment ... different from the "zapper". Apr 29, 2008
After 3 months of waiting Amazon finally delivered my Perfect Shot (which I wouldn't be too steamed about except they showed it "in stock" when I ordered, though it clearly was not).
So what's the verdict?
This gun is a good piece of equipment. It is intelligently designed and well made for something that retails for less than $20. It provides a completely different feel to shooting games relative to the Wii Zapper (which I also have and like). Which one you will prefer will probably depend on your individual style of shooting and the game you're playing. For instance, when playing the target game on Wii Play I prefer this gun, however, for most of the Linx Crossbow games I prefer the zapper.
The only complaint I have about this gun is that the grip is a tad large (and I'm a pretty big guy ... 6'2"). This means that after about 15 minutes of play my hand and forearm start to get a bit tired ... not much, mind you, but enough to make you lose just a bit of accuracy (which really matters in something like Linx Crossbow).
The trigger pull is also more firm than on the zapper. Whether this is good or bad will depend on you. For me it lessens accuracy a bit but makes it less likely I'll squeeze off an unintentional shot.
Overall, I'd recommend this as a fun product.
FINALLY.... the second coming of this gun!!! Apr 24, 2008
We just finally received this gun after ordering it on Feb 6th!!! Patience was the key. Thank you Amazon for getting your hands on more of these guns. They are absolutely amazing and really change "House of the Dead 2 & 3! We love it!!!
